Am considering one of these for bikepacking the more rougher trails - am 5'11 and currently have a 2007 Cotic Soul 26" wheels so expect geometry has changed alot since then. Is Sonders recommendation of a Large correct?

I’m 6’1 and ‘share’ a large BR with my 5’9 missus. I use a longer stem to make it more comfortable, and apart from a saddle adjustment it seems ideal. When I say longer, Sonder gave me their longest Piskie stem they do-so not massive. She uses the shortest.

I’m 5’8” on a medium Signal, so I’d guess you need a large. If unsure go and demo one

 

I used to ride medium in cotic

I'm 5' 11 and a half and ride a large Broken Road. I have a short inside leg (30") but the bike is a great fit. It's quite a long frame and I have a 50mm stem on it and the reach is good.

Pic to show saddle height if it's any help:

Thanks all - ordered a Large Ti Pinion yesterday to take advantage of the sale discount. Might change the stem length - think I ordered the shortest (35mm). Measured the current bike (Cotic Soul) and its 64cm from centre of seatpost to centreline of bars - that looks much shorter than modern geometry bikes. Think effective top tube is about 590mm - but with a 80mm stem.

Nice! I would love a Pinion drive bike but the Pinion version was out of my budget when I got my Broken Road.

Make sure you post a few pics of it when it arrives.
